Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 23, 2014, Freshpet, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Amendment Number One (the “First Amendment”) to the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement by and between the Company and City National Bank, a national banking association, as the arranger and administrative agent, and the lenders thereto (the “Loan Agreement”). The First Amendment reflects that the Company repaid the 5-year $18.0 million term facility under the Loan Agreement and increased the term loan commitment earmarked primarily for capital expenditures from $12.0 million to $30.0 million (the “Capex Commitments”). Any undrawn Capex Commitments will expire on November 13, 2017. The First Amendment also (i) amended certain (A) fees related to the Capex Commitments and (B) financial covenants relating to capital expenditures and (ii) requires the Company to pay customary fees and expenses related to the First Amendment.

The foregoing is a summary of the terms of the First Amendment and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the First Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
